Is there a less expensive way to do a rear disc brake conversion on a 68 XR-7 with a 8" rear end? I thought I had read on this site about using a Ford Granada setup but couldn't find the thread after searching this forum.
Thanks for any information.

Hey thanks for your time and help. I was looking for a cheap way to add rear disc brakes and couldn't find it in your link. I did find this in a google search for anyone looking to do the same thing I'm trying to do. http://www.ultrastang.com/info11.php http://www.ultrastang.com/products1.php
Thanks again, David

I thought Mustang steve had front and rear conversion kits - simialr to this.....guess not. Good site though - albiet very slow for some reason. That does look like a worth while conversion!

After searching around I think I'm just going to buy this kit from Summit. That way everything will be brand new. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-BK1326-X/

For that low of a price, you better ask where those parts are sourced from.

and make sure the calipers have dust seals for the pistons. One leading brand does not and they are illegal for road use

Let us know how it works out...looks like a good deal at least.....beats crawling around the boneyards for used stuff in lord knows what condition that will have needs anyway. Summit parts have been pretty good for me more often than not.
